making friends
Just because you’re not staying in our Halls of Residence doesn’t mean you will miss out on making those life-long university friendships like your fellow students. At Leeds Beckett many of our students commute in from surrounding towns and cities, and just like you, they have access to an array of societies, events and other friendship networks.
Our Students' Union societies are a great place to start, from the DJ Society to the Debating Society they have a diverse collection of clubs to choose from. Interested in Sport? Our sporting community offers 40 different clubs to choose from and is a great way to meet new people with the same interests as you.
Don’t forget to join our Official Freshers Facebook Group where you can keep up to date on all upcoming events and activities as well as chat with other new students. If you would like to chat with students who also live at home just like you, try joining the Leeds Beckett Commuters Facebook group run by the Students Union.
Many of your course mates won’t be familiar with Leeds, use your local knowledge and show them some of your favourite places to go.
